Mama's Boy

Ok! Here are the pictures that I promised to post! Dog-MA and I really just wanted to run and play, but Mom kept wanting us to sit still and take pictures. Lots of pictures! She tried and tried to get me to sit next to Dog-MA for pics, but it is SO hard to sit still when my tail is wagging so hard that my butt can't stop moving! Here's the pics that Mom managed to get.

We hung out on the deck (though I did keep trying to escape into the house - of course I remember where the kitchen is! Food is there!)



Dog-MA followed me around in the yard and got a little personal! I think she was checking to make sure I am keeping up with the hygiene she taught me!


Kitchen! Sweet kitchen! My favorite room in the house! Yummy stuff happens in this room!

It's kinda hard to see, but I look a lot like Dog-MA. I totally got my forehead from her! But, I have my Dad's eyes - dark chocolate brown, rather than MA's caramel. I also have WAY more jowl and loose skin than she does. But, we are both SO cute! One last close up of Ma!

Dagan visits Anista

Guess what! Guess what! Mom and I went on an adventure today after work! We drove all over the place and ended up at a house. I kinda recognized it, but I was a little fuzzy about it all. Then! Then! Such excitement! My Dog-MA came out to say hello! I have missed my Dog-MA SO much! We had a great time playing and hanging out together! And, my litter raisers were there too! Carol and Alan were SO much fun when I was a baby! They took such good care of me (and let me sit in laps!)

Do you think we look alike?

Dog-MA and I got to run and play too. It was sorta like the old days, but I think I was friskier than MA remembered!

I will post more pictures of my visit with Dog-MA soon!

Exciting Day! Graduations and old friends!

Despite it being a Saturday, I decided I would try to get my breakfast at my normal time. Why are parents so much grumpier on Saturday mornings?? They kept telling me that dogs that whine don't get to eat at all! Huh?!? That scared me! I LOVE to whine for my meals! I decided I better shut my kibble hole before they decided not to feed me again!

Once we got my food situation worked out, Mom told me that we were going to Guide Dogs to see Hamlin graduate. I'm not quite sure what she was talking about. She told me it is where I started my life, but I think she was just a little bit crazy.

I didn't see much while I was there - just a bunch of people not looking at me. Not petting me. Not paying me one bit of attention! It wasn't all that exciting for me.


Hamlin was pretty fun though - I think he and I could have had a good romp! But, he had his working clothes on and couldn't have much fun. Bummer!


It was pretty exciting that I got to sit with Cabana! She's a super fun girl! She asked me if I can "Taco" my tongue like she can. See the curl?? SO cool!


I tried and tried and tried! I think I got it! What do you think? Did I get my tongue to "Taco?" Cabana says that only super special girls get to do it. Maybe it's a girl thing. Whatever!

Then, Mom figured out why I was confused about her saying I started my life at GDB! A woman came over to pet me (Yippy!! LOVE pets!) She asked my name and was excited to hear that I am Dagan! She is my dog-mom's person mom! My mom's name is Anista, so that would make Carol my Grandma, right? I have two of those already, but they are WAY fun, so I'll take another! My brothers, sisters and I all grew up at my Grandma's house! We didn't live at GDB! She told my Mom all about me as a baby! She said I was super cuddly (Mom could have guessed that! I'm sitting in her lap writing this!) She also told Mom about my brothers and sisters! I have 2 sisters: Danielle (B) and Deli (Y). I have 3 brothers Dempsey (B), Duvall (Y) and Django (B).

It was SO much fun getting to see her again! She and Mom are talking about me getting to see my Dog-Ma again! I'd love to see her and see if she recognizes me! I can't wait!

After we said goodbye to everyone, Mom and Dad took me to the mall nearby. That was pretty boring! And there was a LOT of gum in the planters where I was trying to do my business! It is SO hard to be good and not pick up gum! After that, Mom and Dad grabbed some grub at Panera Bread. I know that place. I've been there before. So, I chillaxed (Like my new word?? I learned it at graduation today!) and took a nap since they weren't throwing any of my food around.

Ummm...Excuse me...

Hey Mom, you think you can stop surfing and give me a chance please?? I'd like to update my blog tonight. Puh-lease?!?! Hurry up! I'm waiting!

Muggin' for Pics

Mom, Dad and I went to visit Dad's parents on Sunday. Before the Super Bowl, we had to go downtown to take some pictures. I was pretty bummed that my 2-foots felt it prudent to put off the start of the Super Bowl, but they have the car keys. Dad is a nut about taking pictures - especially at this spot! 'Turn right. Turn left. Look over here..." ugh! Enough already! Which is my better side?

How's this side? See how the sun shines on my fur? Truthfully, I think this angle makes me look a bit old... Not the youthful 4 month old that I am! I look at least 6 months old here!


How about this side?? Looking in this direction makes my ears flap in the breeze. Kinda cool, but kinda dorky looking. My head looks way too little for my ears!







Enough is enough! I'm done! All I have left for you is this! But, you must admit, it's just about the cutest tongue you have ever seen. Right?












Now, bring on the Super Bowl! I'm hungry! I TOTALLY need a super bowl of food! I'll take kibble please, topped off with a little hot water. What? Huh? What do you mean that's not the type of bowl everyone keeps talking about?? What other type of bowl is there?? What the heck is football?? I don't get it! If there is no kibble involved, I'm out! Time to saw some logs!

Cheater!

My Mom cheated on me tonight. I'm heart broken. The day Mom picked me up, I got to go to Life Group with them. But, ever since, Mom and Dad take it as a no-dog night and leave me at home. Not a biggie. I deal. I hang with the cats - ok, maybe "hang" isn't the right word. I sit in my crate and they taunt me with their freedom. But tonight... Tonight! Mom came home smelling like another dog! Something little. And younger than me. Seriously?!? How fair is that?!?

Mom said that her friends just got a new puppy. Her name is Daisy and she is 9 weeks old. And the pup just sprung right onto Mom's lap. She hung out there for a while and took a nap! Mom says she is part beagle and part fox terrier - and she said that Daisy is super cute! I'm REALLY insulted now!

I'm thinking that tomorrow, when Mom takes me off tie down and says it is time to go to work, I will run and jump on to her bed and snuggle down into the down comforter again. I tried it today, but Mom pulled me out and took me to work. Tomorrow, I need to run faster and snuggle deeper. Especially since Mom will be ready for my new trick now! If I'm fast enough, maybe she won't be able to find me and drag me off to the booooooooooring office!
